Marylebone to Royal Albert Hall Taxi

Royal Albert Hall is on your doorstep in Marylebone - a short hop rather than a journey, which is exactly why a pre-booked car beats hunting for one on the night. We pick up anywhere across NW1, W1U for a fixed £30, and the driver waits at the agreed spot instead of you queuing at a rank. Allow about 20 min door to door when the concert traffic is at its worst.

The route

From most of Marylebone the approach is A4 Cromwell Road, then Exhibition Road, and it is the last few hundred metres that cost the time, not the miles. Kensington Gore is a red route where a car cannot legally wait, so the pickup is always around the back on Prince Consort Road. On a clear evening you are there in minutes; around the concert allow 20 min and let the driver pick the way in.
